Java Inheritance: Student Class Project

This project demonstrates the use of inheritance in Java by modeling a simple academic hierarchy. It includes a base Person class and several subclasses to represent different types of students.

Project Structure

• Person.java – Base class with common attributes like name, age, and gender.
• Student.java – Inherits from Person and adds studentId and major.
• UndergraduateStudent.java – Extends Student and includes a year (e.g., freshman, sophomore).
• GraduateStudent.java – Extends Student and includes a thesisTitle.
• Main.java – Demonstrates polymorphism and displays student information using overridden displayInfo() methods.

Concepts Covered

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Class Inheritance
• Constructor Chaining
• Method Overriding
• Polymorphism

How to Run

1. Compile all .java files:

   javac *.java
